WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example,
do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit.

1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product
using battery pack.
3.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
Black & Decker Battery Packs. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black &
Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used for indoor work. The letters “W” or “WA” on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more
than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each
extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

Not Recommended
THE BATTERy PACK is NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE
FACTORY. CHarge battery pack for at least 9 hours
before use.
The charger is designed to use standard
household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet (figure 1).
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack
as shown in figure 2 and let the battery
1
pack charge initially for 9 hours. After
the initial charge, under normal usage,
your battery pack should be fully
charged in 6 to 9 hours.
2a) During charging the green LED will appear.
2b) When charging is complete the green
LED will go off.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery
2
pack. Place the battery pack into the
tool until it “clicks” into place figure 3.
NOTE: To remove the battery
pack, press down on the
3
release button on the back of
the battery pack and slide out.
9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10.Use only one charger when charging.
11.Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized
Black & Decker service center.
12.DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13.Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A
small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

Important Charging
Notes
1. After normal usage, your
battery pack should be fully
charged in 6 to 9 hours. If
the battery pack is run-down
completely, it may take up
to 9 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from the factory in an
uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be
charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life
and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged
when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch.
This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current
at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check
to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (+4.5°C)
to 105°F (+40.5°C). (4) If the receptacle and temperature are
ok, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the battery
pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE using unit with its battery pack in a depleted condition.
6. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being
cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage is
the best method of discharging and recharging the battery pack.
Storage Recommendation
1.Store tool:
a.) with the battery pack removed and on the charger.
b.) in a place that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
c.) out of the reach of children.
2. For prolonged storage such as over the winter, the battery pack
should be fully charged and then removed from the charger. It
should be charged again just prior to use.
Leaving the Battery Pack in the Charger
It is OK to leave battery packs on charge for long periods of time.
The charger has a maintenance mode which gives the battery
pack enough charge to stay “topped off”. If however, the tool is not
expected to be needed for more than 30 days, unplug the charger
and store battery pack in a cool, dry location. NOTE: A battery
pack will lose its charge when kept off of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be
recharged before use. A battery pack may also lose its charge if left
in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

i
Cutting Line / LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon
line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and
worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed and
trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks
or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The
advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more
cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length of line
whenever it’s required. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt
to feed line or for any other purposes.
REPLACING THE SPOOL
• Remove battery from tool.
14
• Depress the tabs (j) and
remove the spool cap (k) from Replacement
the spool housing (l) in the
spool
trimmer head (figure 14).
• For best results, replace
Model #
spool with Black & Decker
AF-100
model # AF-100.
• Grasp empty spool with one
hand and spool housing with
j
other hand and pull spool out.
REPLACEMENT ACCESSORIES
CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate
type of cutting line.
Use Black & Decker replacement spool Model No. AF-100.
Reload nylon line (either bulk or prewound replacement spool) as
shown in this manual.
• USE ONLY .065 inch (1.65 mm) DIAMETER ROUND NYLON MONOFILAMENT LINE. Do not use serrated or heavier gauge
line, as they will overload the motor and cause overheating. This
line is available at your local dealer or authorized service center.
• Other replacement parts (guards, spool caps, etc.) are available
through Black & Decker service centers. To find your local service
location call: 1-800-544-6986 or visit www.blackanddecker.com.

TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Tool runs slowly
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, remove the battery from the tool before performing any maintenance.
1. Keep the air intake slots clean to avoid overheating.
2. Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in top
condition, store spare pre-wound spools or bulk line in a plastic,
sealable bag with a tablespoon of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp rag.
4. The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over time. It is
recommended you periodically touch-up the sharpness of the
blade with a file.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by
authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using identical replacement parts.
• Check that the spool housing can rotate freely. Carefully clean it if
necessary.
• Check that the cutting line does not protrude more than
approximately 5-3/8 inches (136mm) from the spool. If it does, cut
it off so that it just reaches the line trimming blade.
Automatic line feed does not work
• Keep the tabs depressed and remove the spool from the spool
housing in the trimmer head.
• Pull the cutting line until it protrudes approximately 5-3/8 inches
(136mm) from the spool. If insufficient cutting line is left on the
spool, install a new spool of cutting line.
• Ensure that the line is not crisscrossed on the spool as detailed
in figure 19. If it is, unwind the cutting line, then wind it back on
the spool neatly so that the lines do not cross.
• Ensure the beginning of the cutting line is pulled tight against the
spool as shown in figure 18.
• Align the tabs on the spool cap with the cut outs in the housing.
• Push the spool onto the housing until it snaps securely into place.
• If the cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it
off so that it just reaches the blade. If the automatic line feed
still does not work or the spool is jammed, try the following
suggestions:
• Carefully clean the spool and housing.
• Remove the spool and check if the lever in the spool housing
can move freely.
• Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line, then wind it on
neatly again. Replace the spool into the housing. Battery Recycling and the RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to
place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery
users, has established programs in the United States and Canada
to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources
by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
